Still from the 1934 film Student Tour, picturing Monte Blue
with several others cast members; he has handwritten notes pointing out Betty
Grable, Bruce Bennett, and Nelson Eddy. Extremely rare!
Annotated photograph signed: "[illegible]Marches On!/Monte
Blue", B/w 9¾x7¾. The actor has penned several notes across the photograph
pointing to certain actors: "Herman Brix/Now known as/"Bruce Bennett"",
"Betty Grable was in this/group, just starting", "Nelson Eddy sing in
this/production also!". Silent screen leading man and "talkies" character
actor Monte Blue (1887-1963), who was sometimes billed G.M. (for
Gerald Montgomery) Blue, began his career as a stuntman with the D.W. Griffith
Studios before making his debut as an extra in The Birth of a
Nation (1915). After his breakthrough role in Orphans of the
Storm (1921), Blue starred opposite the most popular leading ladies
of the day, including Gloria Swanson, Clara Bow and Norma Shearer. He made
his last feature film in 1954. Blue also appeared on the small screen in two
made-for-TV movies in 1966 and on a number of TV Western series from 1949
(The Lone Ranger) to 1960 (Rawhide). Pin holes in top margin.
